Cleaning
:
Regarding cleaning/disinfection, rinsing and drying, it is to distinguish
between manual and automated reprocessing methods. Preference is
to be given to automated reprocessing methods, especially due to the
better standardizing potential and industrial safety.
Automated Cleaning:
Carefully put the components into the washer-disinfector on a tray and
set the parameters as follows, then start the program:
• 4 min pre-washing with cold water (<40°C);
• Emptying;
• 5 min washing with a mild alkaline cleaner at 55°C;
• Emptying;
• 3 min neutralising with warm water (>40°C);
• Emptying;
• 5 min intermediate rinsing with warm water (>40°C);
• Emptying;
The automated cleaning processes have been validated by using 0.5%
neodisher MediClean forte (Dr. Weigert).
Note Acc. to EN ISO 17664-1 no manual reprocessing methods are
required for these devices. If a manual reprocessing method has to be
used, please validate it prior to use.
 Use only approved washer-disinfectors according to EN ISO
15883, maintain and calibrate it regularly.
 Follow instructions and observe concentrations given by the
manufacturer (see general recommendations).
Disinfect
ion:
Automated Thermal Disinfection in washer/disinfector under
consideration of national requirements in regards to A0 value (see EN
ISO 15883).
A disinfection cycle of 5 min disinfection at 93°C has been validated for
the device to achieve an A0 value of 3000.
After automated cleaning, the components should be automatedly
disinfected immediately. A manual disinfection is not recommended.
Drying:
Automated Drying:
Dry the outside of the components through drying cycle of
washer/disinfector. If
needed, additional manual drying can be
performed through lint free towel. Insufflate cavities of the components
